Illusion or reality, does not matter, what really counts is the result, and if a mineral powder and a swirl of a brush can guarantee a flawless and balanced complexion, why shouldn’t we convert to this new gestuality? Mineral powders are not a news but have never been so in vogue, at least until now that Clarins has launched on the market its Skin Illusion Fond De Teint Poudre Libre.

All the advantages of mineral powder foundation

Clarins Skin Illusion Fond De Teint Poudre Libre has a fine texture (declined in 8 shades) that is lighter than a powder, definitely more velvety than matte foundation and more luminous than a fluid one. Easy to use, it applies effortlessly with few circular motions of the included kabuki brush that takes from the lid the right amount of powder just after having shook three times the Skin Illusion Poudre Libre jar. Then, if needed, it can be build up for more coverage without appearing cakey at all. In addition, a small amount of powder applied with the tip of a finger can also act as a concealer on imperfections (my only suggestion, avoid the eye area). With Clarins Skin Illusion Fond De Teint Poudre Libre skin is smooth, silky and luminous and for longer (I felt the need of a light retouch just at dinner time).

The treatment side of Skin Illusion

Clarins Skin Illusion Fond De Teint Poudre Libre is not only lightness, perfection and practicality: this mineral powder foundation also wins the label of skincare treatment. In fact, in addition to the pink opal dust that contributes to optically blurs wrinkles and imperfections to ensure a luminous, radiant complexion all day long, its mineral formula includes a Vegetal Micropatch which maintains a constant moisture level in the epidermis and an anti-pollution complex which protects the skin against urban pollution damage by counteracting free radicals. Last but not least Clarins Skin Illusion Fond De Teint Poudre Libre works as a physical shield against UV rays and is oil free, making it suitable even for the most problematic skin.

Light as air, Skin Illusion Poudre Libre Clarins reinvents the art of powdering and, in a single step, combines treatment, foundation and face powder for a flawless coverage, adjustable coverage and a matte luminous finish. And if the “illusion” is of a flawless complexion, the realities that of a deeply sublimated skin.
